The secret of making great organic silage - Video diaries from National Trust Wimpole Home Farm.

Wimpole Home Farm is a mixed organic farm, directly run and managed by the National Trust. By farming with nature in a sustainable way, they've seen the number of farmland birds - which are declining nationally - double their numbers over the last six years. The farm is also home to a thriving population of insects - including 95 rare and protected species.


Last year, the farm produced 142 tonnes of wheat - enough to make 200,000 loaves of bread, or over four million scones - 123 tonnes of organic barley – equivalent to what’s needed to make nearly 1.5million pints of beer and 126 tonnes of organic oats - equivalent to over 2.5 million bowls of porridge[9].

We protect and care for places so people and nature can thrive. Everyone can get involved, everyone can make a difference. Nature, beauty, history. For everyone, for ever.
